Meg opens one eye just enough to get a blurry-through-her-eyelashes orienting view.

And then she takes two steps toward Parker and slaps her, not hard, but hard enough.

"You're welcome," she says, and closes her eyes again.

Okay, so they've got a hypnotizing, singing tree to deal with. Maybe if they try to block that out . . .

"It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog," Meg sings.

Well, sings is a very generous word. Meg is tone deaf, and she couldn't carry a tune if someone gave it handles. And as she's very aware of that fact, the first line is a little hesitant.

But, hey, there's nothing to counteract the silent siren song of an ominous tree like an off-key rendition of a Beatles classic, right?

It's worth a try, anyway.

"It's been a hard day's night, I should sleeping like a log."
